RaceSkyborne · High OrderFinish the High Order Bear chain on Zephras Isle before following the mainland Druid route. Dalaran and Stormwind lead into Moonglade, Darkshore, and the Cat Form chain, then Redridge, Duskwood, and the Wetlands through 30. We'll keep weapons suitable for forms, prepare healing gear, and buy reagents before the class trips need them.
What to install from CurseForge for Forever: the useful and the fun
Small things about your route, mobs, mana, and speed that add up to hours over a whole leveling run
Main route: Zephras Isle → Dalaran → Stormwind portal → Moonglade and Darnassus → Darkshore → Cat Form at 20 → direct ship to Stormwind → Redridge Mountains, Duskwood and Wetlands. Group branches and optional Aquatic Form are independent: the main route closes without them.
Builds for 10-30: which one to pick and in what order to spend points
Talents begin at 10. I'd work toward Feral Combat: Cat, checking the Wowhead tooltips and calculator order before spending. Beta resets could cost 1 after enough time without one, making Bear until 20 and a Cat respec cheap. At launch, resets start at 1 gold. If you want that switch at 20, save at least 1 gold by 20. Don't plan the launch route around the beta discount.
Ferocity makes 
Maul and 
Claw cheaper. At 15-17, 
Furor 3/5: since November 2 it sits in Feral instead of 
Heart of the Wild. Shift out of Cat to heal, and you come back with part of your energy. At 18-19, 
Feral Swiftness gives Bear +4% dodge. From 20, it gives Cat 30% run speed, including indoors in Forever. 
Blood Frenzy at 25-26 adds combo points on crits, then 
Leader of the Pack at 30 gives the group +3% crit while you're in form.
Lacerate, so a dedicated Bear build still has the easier dungeon tanking kit.Claw use weapon damage in Forever. Keeping an early weapon for its stat line can cost you a lot of damage.Leader of the Pack also gave crit to the druid. If it doesn't in Forever, take Furor 4/5 at 30 instead.

Furor 3/5

Leader of the Pack 1/1Furor 5/5 by 19, then take Lacerate at 25 for the dungeon role.Furor 5/5: Bear gets 10 rage on shifting, and since November 2 the talent sits in Feral instead of Heart of the Wild. 
Feral Charge at 20 lets you charge and interrupt, while Lacerate at 25 becomes your main threat attack: on November 2 it replaced 
Primal Bite, a bleed that stacks up to 5 times. For solo Cat fights, 
Sharpened Claws, 
Savage Fury, and Blood Frenzy still contribute.Feral Swiftness - your cat runs slower, and until 25 it hits weaker than in the main build.
Feral Instinct 3/3 at 28-30 instead of 
Thick Hide. You'll get 30% more from 
Swipe.Ferocity 5/5Furor 5/5Feral Charge 1/1Savage Fury 2/2Sharpened Claws 2/2

Thick Hide 3/3Furor is a Feral talent since November 2, separate from 
Wrath. Shift out of Cat to heal and return with the energy you had. Bear starts with 10 rage. At 22-26, Heart of the Wild 5/5: it moved to Restoration on November 2 and gives more Intellect, plus Strength in Cat. 
Natural Shapeshifter at 27-29 reduces form costs by 30%.Ferocity 5/5Furor 5/5Feral Swiftness 2/2

Improved Entangling Roots adds 75% root damage and helps them survive 2-3 casts of Wrath. 
Nature's Reach increases range to 36 yards.Wrath ranks 3-5 hit below their Classic damage. Mana remains tight. 
Insect Swarm at 25 is the new Balance button before 30, so don't expect frequent new attacks to change the early pace.

Wrath; add Moonfire from 4. Finish with your staff when you need to save mana for healing. Maintain Mark of the Wild and, from 6, Thorns.Entangling Roots from 8 works indoors too. Root a second enemy, move out of melee and heal. Roots do not stop a caster casting.Bear Form, Growl, and Maul. Use Enrage from 12 to help start the next pull.

Remove Curse from 24 removes a Curse; Cure Poison after the chain removes Poison. These are different debuff types.Nature's Grasp before dangerous melee combat to help get clear.

Swords, axes, shields, mail and wands are unusable. For forms, compare DPS first, then Strength/Agility/Stamina; keep a separate healing set with Intellect, Spirit and spell power.

Elemental Insight: +5% damage against elementals. 
Wind Blessed: +2% casting speed and melee and ranged attack speed.Nature's Grasp and Omen of Clarity are trained abilities rather than required talents from the old tree.Revive gives out-of-combat resurrection from 12.
